The man discovers the power of connection from "summary" of Running with Sherman by Christopher McDougall

The man who discovers the power of connection isn't an expert on the subject. In fact, he's more likely to be the kind of guy who thinks connection is for the birds - literally. He's the sort who'd rather be alone in the wild, tracking animals by their scat, than chatting it up with humans. But then the man meets Sherman, a donkey who's as lost and lonely as he is. And as they slowly get to know each other, something remarkable happens. The man begins to understand that connection isn't just for the birds - it's for everyone. It's what makes us human. It's what gives life meaning. As the man spends more time with Sherman, he starts to see how connection isn't just about talking or touching. It's about understanding. It's about empathy. It's about seeing the world through someone else's eyes - or in Sherman's case, through his long, floppy ears. And as the man and Sherman form a bond that transcends words, he realizes that connection isn't just a nice bonus in life - it's essential. It's what keeps us going when times get tough. It's what gives us the strength to keep putting one foot in front of the other, even when the path ahead seems impossibly steep. So the man learns to lean on Sherman, just as Sherman leans on him. And together, they discover that connection isn't just a power - it's a superpower. It's what allows us to overcome our differences, to bridge the gap between species, to find common ground in a world that so often seems divided. And in that connection, the man finds not just a friend, but a partner in the great adventure of life.
